[Janine]

Why aren't you on the Funsters field?

Quite a few of my friends are here who aren't funsters

Are you playing?
If yes, when & where.

Had a wander up to the rugby club, and I think you're all right... might be the place to settle.

Presently, just the other side of the bridge at The Plough... listening to an AC/DC covers band... they're quite loud .

Kerry's shagged from being made a fuss of:

It was a bit loud! The Wheelhouse across the road from you will be even louder tomorrow night so get some earplugs

I'm not playing this year so enjoying listening to everyone else

Well, an eventful journey, almost 8 hours to do 230 miles including the tyre delaminating and M5 closure. Having a well needed beer and some tea.
Tyre's punched a big hole in the internal bodywork and wiped out the grey waste drain pipe, so I'll be dribbling all weekend, can the Holier than thou brigade please make allowances for my predicament !
Need to check up the history of the tyre, but I think it was almost 5 years old, had done around 25k and was inflated to 58psi, checked yesterday and visually appeared ok.

So glad you are both ok despite the horrid journey.

 

[Wombles]

Busy day but great to see everyone here & a special thank you @petenshirley for all their help today

 

[irnbru]

@jockaneezer I hope your damage isn’t too bad. The same thing happened to us last month and ripped off the fresh water pipe, damaged fibreglass and the rear step. It’s scary eh!
Try and forget about it until the festival is over. Hope you enjoy it.

 

[Langtoftlad]

Another scorcher in prospect - town is busy already. Made it up to Big Top field and got a prime spot under a shady tree... and the bar has just opened.

Shagged is a completely different fuss altogether.

Ditto from me
( I'll let you off the grey waste as you have no tap!! And I'm not even there!!!)

 

[Wombles]

There's a fire in the main camping field but a long way from us & fire engine already in attendance

Oh no that’s a campers worst nightmare.
Hope all are safe.

Let's hope so - the response was quick - 2nd fire engine now there

In case anyone is concerned - no need to return to the camping field if you are at the Festival - all under control now.

 

[Janine]

It was a motor home apparently.

Row N - owners weren't with it.

 

[Wombles]

It was a motor home apparently.

Was told that it was a "van" but no ambulance just fire engines & police so hopefully an empty one.

[Langtoftlad]

Thumbs up for the fire lanes eh .

Thanks for the heads up & reassurance...

Considering how quickly they generally are engulfed, the fire service must have got there very pronto indeed...
Wonder what set it alight.

 

[Janine]

Fridge maybe?

 

[Lisa]

Looks like fridge or oven....was it empty?
Hope nobody was in it or their pets?

We think owners were at festival

We were having lunch & spotted the smoke - went to call emergency number & fire engine arrived at same time so very speedy especially as it was a motorhome & how fast they can go up.

 

[Detnor]

Everyone on the rugby club venue saw the fire engine leave the station. The road was closed by the station, so one brave fire engine driver had the job of getting through the town, fast.

Yeah we were in the town as it came through and the town is cordoned off. Fortunate I suppose.

It appeared to be empty and the owners weren’t there
